^Irs. Aiiroii Ward. 
A hcautiful 
yellow Rose 
from France. Visitors to my Rose gardens 
go into raptures over this wonderful acqui- 
sition. The variety produces as many flow- 
ers as any. Blooms are very large, of ex- 
(;uisitely fine form, and are of a delicate 
Indian yellow color, which shades lighter to- 
ward the edges as the flower opens. The 
demand for this Rose so far has exceeded 
the supply. Now, however, I have a large 
supply of sturdy two-year bushes. Price, 
1-ycar mailing size, 25 cts.; strong 2-ycar 
plants, 60 cts. ; 3-year plants, 75 cts.

the best and darkest color of the two.
